Donna Brazile says Vivek Ramaswamy should “go back where he came from” and mocks his name, which Bill Maher calls out for racism. Gloria, a listener, criticizes Buck over his pronunciation of “mischievous.” On Thanksgiving weekend, in the era of Uber, are you still obliged to pick up loved ones from the airport? Remember when beer commercials were fun? Caller backs Buck on the lousy acoustics of outdoor concert venues. A three-day weekend for the Super Bowl? Caller is ready to be disappointed by GOP in 2024.

Clay Travis buck Sexton. I know it is the holiday season,
a lot of you officially out on the roads. It
is expected to be potentially the busiest Thanksgiving in air
(00:23):
travel in history. Buck. I know that tomorrow you will
be a part of that air travel universe. I will
be a part of that air travel universe as well.
I'll also be driving back on Sunday with my family.
So a lot of you out on both the airwaves
and on the interstate system all over the country. Take
(00:44):
us with you, Clay Travis buck Sexton. You'll be able
to listen to us anywhere in the world, anywhere around
the country. Maybe maybe I have heard that some dads
and moms out there with particularly loud children in the car,
Mate might occasionally be driving with earbuds in as there
(01:05):
are kid movies and iPads and everything else playing. And
what could be and will one day drive buck Sexton
Mad Cacoffinous sounds of children's programming all throughout the cars,
the vehicles, the airport terminals. Take us with you. You
can search out my name Klay, Travis Buck Sexton. You
can also get Tutor Dixon, Carol Marco. It's Tutor. By
(01:27):
the way, We'll be in Friday for a live show
on the program. I think you guys will really enjoy
her and Buck and I will be out on Friday.
The rest of the week will be here, so Buck,
Bill Maher, that's a good question for you. I think
Bill Maher has the best job in media, agree or
disagree the best web in media, Clay, you can have
(01:52):
the best job, and we have. We have incredible jobs.
Maybe I should say best job in media paycheck wise
relative to the amount of actual content that he puts out.
We have to work our butts off. He gets the
show off once a week for a show, up once
a week for an hour and writers. Yeah, how good
(02:13):
do you think a show if we had to do
one show a week and we had a writing staff
of like ten or fifteen. I mean, I love that
Bill Maher does the show that he does. I think
it's very well done. But these John Oliver's the Bill Mahers,
we're doing fifteen hours a week of live radio. They're
not even live, right, that thing's taped. And Bill Maher
(02:35):
makes eight figures to do that show. Yes, that's what
I'm saying for relative to amount of work, I think
he's got the best job in media. But one of
the things that he does a good job of I
think buck is he actually gets people, oftentimes to reveal themselves.
And this was a aside. I don't think it was
a big part of a major discussion. But Donna Brazil,
(02:56):
who has spent years telling everyone out there that Donald
Trump is uniquely racist, that he's a white supremacist, that
the country will not be able to survive if Donald Trump,
he was a Fox contributor for a was she was.
She was paid millions of dollars to go on Fox
and tell everyone that Donald Trump was awful. She was
(03:17):
a Democrat. I don't dislike her. I mean that's her job.
And she was on Bill Maher and this was the
discussion as they as they were were basically debating the
Vake Ramaswami, it turned into a discussion about the way
his name should be pronounced, and Donna Brazil said he
(03:39):
should just go back where he came from. Listen to this.
The Vek needs to just set the hell up and
go home. And well, okay, it's it's the vague.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Whatever would you would you say that about?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I'm Donald the vegue? Is it by Vek?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Masama Ramami Rama, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I know so much. When I come on this show,
I know the the Vek needs to go home. I
agree it just I just feel like there's something wrong
with everybody refusing to learn to say his name. I
just feel there's a little racism there. Okay, interesting that
(04:26):
he threw that.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
He threw that at the end, and I think that
it actually look we're not going to start doing with
the left, gooz, that's.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Racist, that's racist.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
But the South Asian commune, so when people talk about
South Asia, they're generally referring to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh. Some
people would also Sri Lanka's in there as well. But
you know, South Asian community in the US is is substantial,
and you don't really, uh, you don't really get to
claim oppression in the same way that some other groups
(04:57):
do in this country. For from the South Asian community. Yeah,
it's it's just reality, right, I mean, they say you're
in the Asian community period. You don't get to claim
that anything is like you're white adjacent, You're like this
is where the left says, if you're Taiwanese, if you're
if you're from Korea, if you're from you know, if
you're sort of a you know, upper middle class South
(05:20):
Asian immigrant to the US or come from a family
you know like that, you don't get to you don't
get special privileges to say whatever you want though, same
way that some other groups do.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
That's that's what you actually get it used against you,
which is one of the Supreme Court decisions that just
came down. Asian people are actually less likely to get
into elite institutions than even white people based on mostly
East East Asians when they were looking at that data.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
So that's Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and and you know Taiwanese.
So that that's a that's a reality. But I think
it's interesting, first of all, the Bill Mark threw that
at the end, he's carved out Elaine for himself as
a guy who is still a Democrat but not willing
to go completely insane, And it's interesting to see how
(06:09):
that plays out on the show with people who you know,
try to take some of these positions that are effectively
indefensible when you have anybody who still lives in the
real world and is still sane. But yeah, I think that,
you know, first of all, why does a Democrat care
about a Republican prime you know what I'm saying. It
(06:29):
just seemed kind of dismissive and strange to me. And
even though I don't think Vivek is going to be president,
and I don't necessarily I wouldn't, you know, high five,
some of what he's sort of taken as positions at
different times, or rather the multiple positions will take on
a different issue. I like him, You like him on
a personal level, and I think he's been an interesting
(06:50):
voice in the primary. So what's the problem, Like, why
be dismissive.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Of this guy? Yeah? And it's one thing to be
dismissive of someone because you think their ideas don't make sense.
So if Donna Brazil had said, I mean the vik
Karamaswami's position on fitnel and talking about the northern border
being insecure, and she wanted to attack him on that,
or she wanted to attack him on the idea of
(07:13):
birthright citizenship or whatever, you want to disagree with someone
on more power to you. It's marketplace of ideas. I
don't presume that every idea that I have is genius.
I understand that other people are going to disagree attack him,
but attacking him based on what his name is is
really really weak, I mean, and and to not even
(07:36):
be willing to get his name right. And look, I'm
not the pronunciation expert. I will readily admit that I
mispronounced things all the time. On this we learn try
to get it right. I'm trying to get it right.
I'm not dismissing someone because of their name. And it's
just uniquely interesting who gets identity politics protection. If the
(07:58):
veg Garamaswami had ridiculed Kamala Harris and Barack Obama based
on their names and refused to pronounce them correctly and
said they needed to go home, that would be considered
any Republican not vivague. But that would be considered a
racist and nativist attack, and it would be everywhere on MSNBC,
and it would be everywhere on CNN. I mean, considered
(08:20):
the way that they covered Trump using the word vermin.
Can you imagine if Trump consistently refused to pronounce Barack
Obama's name correctly or consistently refused to pronounce Kamala Harris's
name correctly. I mean, it would be a regular trope
that they would trot out of evidence of his racism.
There are lots of things to disagree with on the veke.
(08:42):
And by the way, it's also lazy of Donna Brazil
because you're going on a political show to share political
commentary with an audience of millions of people. Being able
to pronounce the person's name that you're going to talk
about is the bare minimum of research, all right. I
mean I used to when I did sports. It would
(09:05):
always stun me the number of times that people couldn't
pronounce an athlete's name correctly. And you know, it's not
the end of the world to mispronounce the name for
somebody who's new that you don't know, but basic research
would demand that you be able to pronounce someone's name correctly.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I'll just you know, to put a sort of a
finishing touch on this. Donna Brazil said what she said
and knew when she said it, and will continue to
know this going forward, that she's she has the ability
to say this like She's not going to get in trouble.
Democrats aren't going to come after her. She can make
(09:44):
fun of a Vike's name and no one cares. So
you know, this is the world we live in today
in America. By the way, it is amazing. Speaking of pronunciation,
I expect to be deluged with pronunciation emails over this one.
Gloria emailed you Buck near the end of today's broadcast.
Buck used the word mischievous and pronounced it just like
(10:07):
I did, which makes some of us cringe. The correct
pronunciation is mischievous. I I don't know that there is
any audience in America that cares about your pronunciation.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
This is just this. Ali just sent us this email.
This is from Gloria says uh that. I just because
we're talking about Vivacan pronunciation, you evidently have have have
come into Gloria's poor graces here, Buck, over your pronunciation.
I would say mischievous too. Is there not multiple pronunciations
(10:45):
allowed there? Is it mischievous? I mean, we're gonna have
to do research on this to find out. I don't
even know if I care enough to google it. Right now,
That's how I feel about it. I'll just throw that
out there.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I don't even know if you can get my fingers
to type out the type out the letters so we
can figure. I think miss Javis is the is the
preferred pronunciation, so I could I could.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Leave it to that one. I will mention too. I
got a great email from someone who said, you guys
have way too many guest hosts. I got that email
this morning and I was like, I don't think we've
had a guest host in a year. Yeah, well, the
we have a guest host and like Christmas and that's it.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Well we got tutor on Friday, Friday, sorry and Christmas.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
You know that. Yeah, they're right. But I emailed her
back and I was like, you know, there's lots of
things I actually occasionally email back, lots of things you
could criticize. I was like, I don't think we've had
a guest host on this show. You or I have
been in every day for a year basically since uh,
basically since New Year's of last year, because Michael Barry
(11:47):
was in was in on July fourth for us from
uh great host out of Houston. Okay, miss Day it's
been a while, Yeah, so I don't I don't think
that's the criticism. We can have pronunciation maybe, but we
come back. We'll take some of your calls, will allow
you to react, let us know what we're mispronouncing. But
you're right, Donna, Brazil will have no content, neces. No
one will even talk about it. I want to. I
(12:08):
know one took the No one seems to really take debit.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
On my my arena music shows are almost always overrated
because they're like sitting up in the stands, and.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I like them. By the way, I completely disagree with
that take. Yeah, no, go ahead, it's all right, Clay,
You're you're You're free to be wrong on this take.
That's fine. I like big concerts in arenas and stadiums
because of the sheer magnitude of the spectacle. Now, if
you're talking about would you rather be in a venue
with like three hundred people in it, yes, But if
(12:38):
you're talking about when you buy a ticket for a
twenty thousand seed arena or for a stadium, certainly, to me,
the production value of the performance is pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Right, So the stage not seeing hout eye on this one,
But I want to know if we see the II
on the I on the next one, and what our
audience stinks here. I love this piece in the Wall
Street Journal about whether.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Loved ones this holiday.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Season should pick up, whether people should pick up their
loved ones at the airport?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Is this what?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
And especially for some of the guys out there, you know,
I know what this is like. You got a fiance,
or you got a you know, a lady friend, or
you know a wife that expects the pickup from the airport. Now, hey,
I'm on your side. Comes down, comes down heavy on
this one. We can dive into this when we come back.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I want everybody to take ubers everywhere. And this has
turned into a major point of contention with my wife,
who is unhappy that I will put are soon to
be sixteen year old in an uber as opposed to
spending two hours to go drive and pick him up. Uh.
But I understand this is a very contentious issue, especially
around the holiday season. And probably some of you are
listening to us right now, nodding along as you drive
(13:53):
to the airport to go wait in the car waiting
area because somebody's flight's getting delayed two hours and for
some reason you're picking them up instead of having them taken.
Uber Legacy Box provides what Better Homes and Gardens magazine
calls the most sentimental gift to make the holiday season special.
Let's face it, men don't always have the best reputation
when it comes to giving gifts that are good at all,
(14:14):
certainly not sentimental gifts. You just heard us talking about uber,
which is probably gonna blow people up in a big way. There,
Why not blow away your family, girlfriend, wife, mom, dad,
whoever it is by transferring your family's old media into
digital files that will be able to be shared for
years and years to come. I'm talking about all those
old VHS tapes you have stored away in the attic,
(14:36):
even the old film reels. Remember that great scene where
Chevy Chase gets caught in the attic for Christmas vacation.
Family goes out to shop, He goes up in the attic,
gets shut in there, starts to freeze, puts on clothes
to stay warm, watches all the old family reels. You
want to preserve those forever. Make sure that you can
get hooked up and right now you get a Black

(15:40):
pick you up at the airport.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Narl Rhoads curb space and long waits at the cell
phone lot. We make the people we love endure a
lot when we visit. This is Wall Street Journal piece
by Nikki Waller, and she starts it off with wanna
be a hero this holiday season? Get yourself home from
the airport. I'm just throwing this out there, Clay, because
(16:07):
there are people out there I have encountered this in
the past who think, oh, you have a car and
in your major metropolitan area, you could drive that car
to that airport to pick up your family when they're
visiting over Thanksgiving or Christmas or whatever without stopping to
think first of all, that's going to be a giant
(16:28):
pain in the butt, and second of all, it makes
it worse for everybody else.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
I'm going tonight to pick up my oldest son when
he comes back from He's been in Chicago for the weekend,
and when I pick him up, it's going to be
pure chaos at the airport. I'm going to spend probably
two and a half to three hours to pick him up.
I am and this is not unique. I've been arguing
(16:53):
this for a long time. I think that everyone should
take an uber or a lift when you arrive at
the airport. Take care of it yourself. It's relatively easy
to do. I understand. Back in the day when there
weren't that many taxi cabs in many places.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
And there are good public transit options too from places
like JFK and LaGuardia. Now you can take air tran.
You know, there are other depends on the city where Look.
If it's the South Bend airport, you know, go pick
somebody up. Fine, major metro airports. Making your loved one
go out to JFK Thanksgiving Wednesday night, the night before
Thanksgiving is torture. Okay, it's torture. You should get to
(17:32):
their house on your own. Now there are certain exceptions
young children, babies, elderly people, but ninety five percent of
everybody who's traveling should be able to get their own
uber And this is gonna be This might be the
most controversial take that we've ever had on this show,
because I guarantee you there are people that are super
fired up about this.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
The chaos at the airport. You can't I'm already terrified
about going tonight because i know I'm not even gonna
be a I'm gonna have to pick up my kid
at the departures area because you can't even get into
the arrivals area. It's trying to help.
Speaker 2 (18:06):
Everybody thinking about thinking about what's coming. I want to
tell you about chad Mode from Chuck speaking about help.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show Buck throwing
bombs coming after a Renam Music music performances, saying he
doesn't want anybody to get picked up at the airport
to sleep there and if you can't can't get a ride,
it's on you. I am so in favor of no
one getting picked up at the airport. I also am
(19:28):
not a big fan of dropping off at the airport.
I think in an Uber era, Uber and Lyft have
changed transportation fundamentally, and I think a lot of people
haven't caught up with it because the idea of driving
somebody to the airport or picking someone up at the airport,
I'm talking about an adult, like a functional adult. Now,
would you feel different if you were single and you
(19:51):
were dating. Would you make the effort to go pick
up or would you tell girlfriend or dating partner, hey,
figure out a way to get home.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
This was what this is when I had the feud Carrie.
My wife is very reasonable and we understand there's no
point whether you're in Miami or New York, there's no point.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Oh you're married now. But when you first started dating Carrie,
did you tell her hey, like, I don't do airport trips. Oh, no,
I don't do airport trips. Yeah, you just tell her
that like early on. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I think you need to establish that expectation right away
unless for some reason, you know, you're really close and
there are obviously exceptions these rules.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I remember also in my single life, many many many
years ago, got into a pretty big argument with someone
who was flying into JFK, and I was just like,
it's a Friday, I'm not driving into I'm not driving
out to JFK and then driving back, I'll hit traffic
both ways. I'll be in the car for four hours
take a cab that did not go over well.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
So she was coming specifically to visit you, No, just
coming back to New York. Oh you are already dating. Yeah,
And she for you to go to the airport to
pick her up and you were like, yeah, that's no,
not happening. Yep. And how much longer did the relationship
ask after last? After that fight?
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Like months? I don't know, not very long did. I'm
not gonna say this was like the end, but it didn't.
It didn't really go too much longer. I'd say this
as well. Since we're on Since we're on the subject,
we're talking airports, airplanes. Don't worry everybody, Pete, Buddha, Judges,
FAA has got you covered. It's gonna be great. Give
me no problems. I'm gonna be tweeting up a storm.
I'm sure tomorrow when I'm when I'm caught and all
(21:29):
of a sudden, they'll be saying there are weather delays.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
You'll say, wait, but there's no what's going on?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
They say, Oh, and then we'll find out that there's
like a lack of air traffic controllers or staff or whatever.
It's always a mess. I mean air travel. It's just
it feels like it gets worse every year recently. I
don't know what else to say. It feels like it
just keeps getting worse. And but I'm gonna I'm gonna
put this out there. Does it feel this may be controversial? Okay, fine,
but I haven't yet. I feel like I haven't stepped
(21:54):
into a bear trap yet today on these ones. So
because we have some people calling and to agree with me,
some of the early boarding folks, some of the early
boarding folks I think are taking advantage of the good Moldarius.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
One hundred percent. A lot of early boarding that is inappropriate.
I'm seeing.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I'm seeing people who are like, oh, I got an
early board. I look at them, like early board. You
look at you, just finished a triathlon. What are you
talking about early board? You know I'm not talking about
Just to be clear, this is not this isn't military
service personnel. This is when they're doing if you need help,
you know. And then you see people.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
With like a walker or a wheelchair, and you know
they're they're elderly people in the wheelchair. They're getting on
the plane. Okay, fine, but I see people who are like, yeah, great,
I'm just gonna go bored.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I want to be like, excuse me, Like, what is
this south that really matters on Southwest Airlines because there
are no assigned seats. There are sometimes where you're waiting
to get on a Southwest Airlines flight and like seventy
five people are early boarding.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
So you see this too. You don't think I'm crazy?
You think early boarding is being abused?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
No, I mean I get it if you're in a wheelchair, uh,
and you know you have a broken leg, or you're
ninety four years old and you're traveling, Like, yes, I
understand it. But if you've got like four bags and
to your point, you look like you just you know,
like finished a triathlon and you're boarding, and you know,
then you get on and you've managed to you know,
(23:15):
take a whole row on a Southwest flight, I think
it's definitely being abused because I think who says no.
I think if you request early boarding, it doesn't I
don't think they really grill you on why you need
early boarding. I think it's a default. Yes.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I feel like we're a society where we wish we
could use the honor system on things, but there are
a lot of dishonorable people out there, man, a lot
of people taking a lot of people trying to bring
their emotional support peacock on the plane, you know, people
doing crazy things.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
By the way, the other thing on the pickup, because
I'm still fired of about this. I also like to
look to see whether a flight is on time or not,
because go the only thing worse than going to pick
someone up is going to pick someone up driving like
an hour and then the flight's gonna you find out
the flight's gonna be delayed three hours. So then what
(24:07):
do you do. You sit in the cell phone waiting lot,
You go to some crappy restaurant that you otherwise would
not have gone to, somewhere near the airport because typically
the areas around airports are not super nice. So then
you got to drive another twenty five or thirty minutes
to somewhere that go that you would never go. I
don't understand why this is in default, And I was
(24:28):
even saying off air, I don't like, you know, I
had my book tour and they're like, hey, we want
to book travel for you. We'll have somebody waiting for
you with a with a sign, and I don't even
like that because so often the driver goes to the
wrong place and then you're on the phone trying to
find your driver. I just want to take an Uber
(24:50):
every time I arrive at any airport to wherever I
want to go, and I don't really want to even
have to worry about trying to involve anyone else other
than pulling my phone out and.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Doing don't want to have to look for that sign
that says mister Gali weekets and tell you it's actually
doctor Galakowitz.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Do you remember what brand did that ad? Bud Light?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yes, because but you used to do the best ads
on TV in the Super Bowl year in and year.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Out, because beer companies used to try to make you
laugh instead of convincing you that dudes with penises were
the woman of the year. I think there's a whole
I think we've played on this show the Real Men
of Genius ads before, which were all so funny, and
then the Core's Light We like cheerleaders and football and
(25:37):
quarterbacks getting sacked like that whole ad. I showed it
to my kids and they were like, Wow, these were fun.
Because we've entered into such a woke we can't offend anybody. Culture.
Oh the cheerleader is pretty and look men like to
drink beer and look at pretty girls. That hasn't changed.
(25:59):
That's never going to change this basic biology. Yet the
beer companies have decided, oh, we shouldn't do that anymore.
I really think every brand in America could just go
back to what worked in the eighties and the nineties,
and it would work way better now because there's a
desperate demand for it. And then when you get attacked
by all these losers online, you actually should ridicule them
(26:22):
because they aren't representative of the larger American population. Just
and the Victoria's secret thing. While I'm on my oh wow,
he's fired up everybody, my soapbox is perfect on this.
It turns out that fat chicks with penises in lingerie
didn't make anybody want to have sex more or buy
(26:43):
more lingerie. You know, like remember when they were like,
We're gonna have a bunch of androgynist fat chicks selling lingerie,
And You're like, I, I don't think there's a lot
of women out there that think, oh, I'm gonna look
like a fat chick when I put on lingerie. And
I don't think there are any men out there that
are like, you know what I want? I want a
person that might be a dude wearing lingerie to convince
(27:06):
me to buy this for my wife. Like, this was
the stupidest campaign in the history of mankind. Everybody wants
to look better looking than they are. Right, there aren't
fat superheroes. I mean fashion. Fashion is aspirational, right, I
mean ye agree that any of us participates. Imagine how
Superman wouldn't be very super if you weighed four hundred
(27:27):
and twenty pounds and he was trying to wear a
lycra suit.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
You couldn't see his abs. Well, men envy he identifies
as super you don't know? That would certainly be a
different kind of movie. But this whole idea let's drive
me crazy. If you're looking for a way to save

Speaker 2 (29:07):
Back everybody to Clay in Buckbone lines are open eight
hundred two eighty two to eight eight two. We have
Aaron who sounds like a brilliant audio file.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Aaron, what's going.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
On, Hey guys, thanks for having me. You know I
live in San Diego. I got tickets to Metallica. I'm
a dieheart. Stand up at Joe Count La throve to
the horrendous LA traffic, got to the stadium, got my
fifteen dollars beer, and I couldn't hear a freaking note
they were playing. You know, it's just loud gargles sounds.
I couldn't even make out those the music. I hate stadiums.
(29:39):
I agree with Bucks.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
You're a brilliant man, Aaron, because see you've experienced the reality.
That's what I always telling people. Stadiums are not built
for outdoor state. It's not built for acoustics. No, there's
no way you're gonna be able to really if you're
somebody that wants to hear the crispness of those notes,
you want to hear those vocals.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Clay's Clay just He's just there's not pagan read. I
just want the big show, the big screen. I would
still like to go see the Taylor Swift extravaganza, like
back in the day, you two rolling Stones. The big
stadium shows I think are really cool, just to see
the way they put them on, so I don't go
(30:18):
the things just sound. Do you want to go to
this thing in Vegas, the Sphere? I do one hundred.
I want to go to the Sphere. For those of
you who don't know, the owner of the Knicks, James
Dolan and Madison Square Garden, built this incredible concert. I
mean really, it's just a venue that is called the
(30:40):
Sphere right off of the Vegas Strip. And I believe
they had you two open up for like nineteen straight
days or something like that, and they want to do
a UFC event. I saw Dana White talking about this. Obviously,
the UFC has major connections in Las Vegas. It looks incredible. Yes,
I want to go see an event there. I'm figuring the'
prob have something huge for the super Bowl this year
(31:02):
because the Super bowls in Vegas, so I'm hoping I'm
out for some of the festivities surrounding that. When is
the Super Bowl? Do you know what month the Super
Bowl is in? It's January or February. Okay, that's pretty Yeah,
it's in February. I believe that. I haven't even looked
up the official date, but usually February eleventh. Our staff
(31:23):
tells us this year. My argument has been for some
time that they should move the Super Bowl to the
Sunday before President's Day and give us basically a football
holiday weekend every year. To me, feels like a no brainer.
That would be an easy calendar change to add one
(31:43):
week to football season, which I don't think most people
would complain about, and then boom, everybody gets off Monday
and it revitalizes President's Day, which I feel like other
than Mattress Cells, most people really kind of don't think
very much about President's Day.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Are my beloved Jets or my beloved Giants in the
running for this Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (32:04):
It is an awful year for New York football fans. No,
they are not in the running as a shame. Maybe
they're both actually atrocious. Should I be a Dolphins fan
then Dolphins are, Yeah, you should. It's actually you're kind
of coming in in a very favorable time because the
Dolphins have been trying to replace Dan Marino for twenty
(32:25):
five years now, whatever the math is on that maybe
thirty years now, and Tua is really very good, They're
gonna win the division I think, Sorry, Bill's fans, and
the host home playoff game, so that that's not been
very common. You could be kind of fair weather fand
fanning yourself into a really good spot. So yes, I
would be a Dolphins fan if I were you.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Everything I know from about Dolphins football I learned from
watching ace Ventura, So.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
You know, Oh, that's a great They couldn't couldn't make
that movie. Now, there's a lot of things in ace
Ventura that would be very una. Marino makes in it
makes a appearance in that. Yeah, Don Shula the quarterback, Yeah,
Don Shula. I mean that's NFL license. They were fine
with that movie being made. They would run in the
opposite direction. Now, by the way, the movie's funny. I
showed it for my kids a couple of Thanksgiving ago,
(33:12):
holds up for them. They thought it was pretty funny.
What are you thinking of the movie that? What is
the movie from our youth?
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Now?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
I'm giving up the joke here because Clay and I
are basically the same age. Don't tell anyone what is
the movie from our youth that your kids love the most?
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Well changes based on how they age, because.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
But like right now, like like right now, like in
the last year or two, what's the one that they
have liked them, Is there one that really sticks out me?
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Well, the last the most two most recent we watched.
They loved both of them, The Lost Boys and Scream,
and they really want to watch the entire Scream. That
was around Halloween. We were watching all those movies, and
before that it was I would probably say Indiana Jones.
But they also love Star Wars, like the original Star Wars,
but the Indiana Jones movies they thought we were pretty phenomenal.
(34:01):
Dan in Minnesota, what's going on? Dan?
Speaker 6 (34:06):
Hello? With the votes coming in as early as they
do now, no matter how energize the Republican base or
the how good the polls look, I'm ready to be
disappointed because as the election nears, the Democrats ground game
will will disappoint us election after election. And I think
(34:30):
we have every right to know as long as we're
going to be voting this early, what the what the
score is as the votes come in, that way, we
won't be surprised and we won't have such a traffic jam.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Thank you for the call. The amount of thank you,
the amount of defeatism is I mean, I'm trying to
think of the fan base that the Republican Party would
represent right now, the Republican Party is is like the
New York There is almost no faith that anything could
ever go possibly right. I would have said historically, buck
(35:08):
the Detroit Lions. Although here's a good sports analogy for
you to drop out at Thanksgiving, because the Lions will
be playing on Thanksgiving and everybody out there who's listening
right now, if you are not a sports fan at all,
but you want to blow your family away on Thanksgiving
by just dropping an incredible sports stat, here's one for you. Buck.
The Detroit Lions are eight and two. Detroit Lions play
(35:29):
every Thanksgiving. They are eight and two. They usually play
the early game. So you got all your family and
friends around, you can say Detroit Lions are eight and two.
They haven't been eight and two, buck since nineteen sixty two.
JFK was alive the last time the Detroit Lions started
off a season eight and two. There you go. You
(35:51):
save that one. Your your family's not listening, your brothers
are are football fans. Yes, you're gonna drop it. They're
gonna be blown away now. I don't think you can
release he saw the numbers while the voting is still
going on. But I do think this every single state
should one hundred percent copy everything that Florida does from
a voting perspective, because Florida was the laughing stock of
(36:12):
America in two thousand. It took forever, the hanging chad,
the vote and everything else. They fixed it. No big
state buck does voting better than Florida. Now by ten
thirty or eleven o'clock, you know exactly what the tallies
are going to be. You know who won every race.
Every state should be exactly the same as Florida.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
I think some states that are run by Democrats at
the legislative level and have a Democrat governor, they want
to keep it exactly how it is. They want to
keep it a little opaque, a little murky, a little
you know, who knows what's.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Really going on. Did it take like a month for
all those votes to come in in California? Remember how
long it took to figure out who actually won the House. Yeah,
New York had along a long lag as well. So
we'll come back into this because there's more people who
are weighing in on It's Biden's birthday, So happy birthday, Joe,
stop running for president. That's what they're saying. These are Democrats.
(37:05):
We'll dive into some of that together. Plus some Thanksgiving
thoughts Early Thanksgiving thoughts, because I won't be with you
guys Tomorrow, Wednesday, it'll just be Clay
Oh, then Outumber two Monday edition of the program. Appreciate
all of you hanging out with us. Would encourage you
to go subscribe to the podcast, make sure you don't
miss a single moment. You can go grab my name,
Clay Travis buck Sexton. I know it is the holiday season,
a lot of you officially out on the roads. It
is expected to be potentially the busiest Thanksgiving in air
(00:23):
travel in history. Buck. I know that tomorrow you will
be a part of that air travel universe. I will
be a part of that air travel universe as well.
I'll also be driving back on Sunday with my family.
So a lot of you out on both the airwaves
and on the interstate system all over the country. Take
(00:44):
us with you, Clay Travis buck Sexton. You'll be able
to listen to us anywhere in the world, anywhere around
the country. Maybe maybe I have heard that some dads
and moms out there with particularly loud children in the car,
Mate might occasionally be driving with earbuds in as there
(01:05):
are kid movies and iPads and everything else playing. And
what could be and will one day drive buck Sexton
Mad Cacoffinous sounds of children's programming all throughout the cars,
the vehicles, the airport terminals. Take us with you. You
can search out my name Klay, Travis Buck Sexton. You
can also get Tutor Dixon, Carol Marco. It's Tutor. By
(01:27):
the way, We'll be in Friday for a live show
on the program. I think you guys will really enjoy
her and Buck and I will be out on Friday.
The rest of the week will be here, so Buck,
Bill Maher, that's a good question for you. I think
Bill Maher has the best job in media, agree or
disagree the best web in media, Clay, you can have
(01:52):
the best job, and we have. We have incredible jobs.
Maybe I should say best job in media paycheck wise
relative to the amount of actual content that he puts out.
We have to work our butts off. He gets the
show off once a week for a show, up once
a week for an hour and writers. Yeah, how good
(02:13):
do you think a show if we had to do
one show a week and we had a writing staff
of like ten or fifteen. I mean, I love that
Bill Maher does the show that he does. I think
it's very well done. But these John Oliver's the Bill Mahers,
we're doing fifteen hours a week of live radio. They're
not even live, right, that thing's taped. And Bill Maher
(02:35):
makes eight figures to do that show. Yes, that's what
I'm saying for relative to amount of work, I think
he's got the best job in media. But one of
the things that he does a good job of I
think buck is he actually gets people, oftentimes to reveal themselves.
And this was a aside. I don't think it was
a big part of a major discussion. But Donna Brazil,
(02:56):
who has spent years telling everyone out there that Donald
Trump is uniquely racist, that he's a white supremacist, that
the country will not be able to survive if Donald Trump,
he was a Fox contributor for a was she was.
She was paid millions of dollars to go on Fox
and tell everyone that Donald Trump was awful. She was
(03:17):
a Democrat. I don't dislike her. I mean that's her job.
And she was on Bill Maher and this was the
discussion as they as they were were basically debating the
Vake Ramaswami, it turned into a discussion about the way
his name should be pronounced, and Donna Brazil said he
(03:39):
should just go back where he came from. Listen to this.
The Vek needs to just set the hell up and
go home. And well, okay, it's it's the vague.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Whatever would you would you say that about?
Speaker 1 (03:57):
I'm Donald the vegue? Is it by Vek?
Speaker 2 (04:00):
Masama Ramami Rama, thank you so much.
Speaker 1 (04:05):
I know so much. When I come on this show,
I know the the Vek needs to go home. I
agree it just I just feel like there's something wrong
with everybody refusing to learn to say his name. I
just feel there's a little racism there. Okay, interesting that
(04:26):
he threw that.
Speaker 2 (04:27):
He threw that at the end, and I think that
it actually look we're not going to start doing with
the left, gooz, that's.
Speaker 1 (04:32):
Racist, that's racist.
Speaker 2 (04:34):
But the South Asian commune, so when people talk about
South Asia, they're generally referring to India, Pakistan, Bangladesh. Some
people would also Sri Lanka's in there as well. But
you know, South Asian community in the US is is substantial,
and you don't really, uh, you don't really get to
claim oppression in the same way that some other groups
(04:57):
do in this country. For from the South Asian community. Yeah,
it's it's just reality, right, I mean, they say you're
in the Asian community period. You don't get to claim
that anything is like you're white adjacent, You're like this
is where the left says, if you're Taiwanese, if you're
if you're from Korea, if you're from you know, if
you're sort of a you know, upper middle class South
(05:20):
Asian immigrant to the US or come from a family
you know like that, you don't get to you don't
get special privileges to say whatever you want though, same
way that some other groups do.
Speaker 1 (05:30):
That's that's what you actually get it used against you,
which is one of the Supreme Court decisions that just
came down. Asian people are actually less likely to get
into elite institutions than even white people based on mostly
East East Asians when they were looking at that data.
Speaker 2 (05:47):
So that's Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and and you know Taiwanese.
So that that's a that's a reality. But I think
it's interesting, first of all, the Bill Mark threw that
at the end, he's carved out Elaine for himself as
a guy who is still a Democrat but not willing
to go completely insane, And it's interesting to see how
(06:09):
that plays out on the show with people who you know,
try to take some of these positions that are effectively
indefensible when you have anybody who still lives in the
real world and is still sane. But yeah, I think that,
you know, first of all, why does a Democrat care
about a Republican prime you know what I'm saying. It
(06:29):
just seemed kind of dismissive and strange to me. And
even though I don't think Vivek is going to be president,
and I don't necessarily I wouldn't, you know, high five,
some of what he's sort of taken as positions at
different times, or rather the multiple positions will take on
a different issue. I like him, You like him on
a personal level, and I think he's been an interesting
(06:50):
voice in the primary. So what's the problem, Like, why
be dismissive.
Speaker 1 (06:53):
Of this guy? Yeah? And it's one thing to be
dismissive of someone because you think their ideas don't make sense.
So if Donna Brazil had said, I mean the vik
Karamaswami's position on fitnel and talking about the northern border
being insecure, and she wanted to attack him on that,
or she wanted to attack him on the idea of
(07:13):
birthright citizenship or whatever, you want to disagree with someone
on more power to you. It's marketplace of ideas. I
don't presume that every idea that I have is genius.
I understand that other people are going to disagree attack him,
but attacking him based on what his name is is
really really weak, I mean, and and to not even
(07:36):
be willing to get his name right. And look, I'm
not the pronunciation expert. I will readily admit that I
mispronounced things all the time. On this we learn try
to get it right. I'm trying to get it right.
I'm not dismissing someone because of their name. And it's
just uniquely interesting who gets identity politics protection. If the
(07:58):
veg Garamaswami had ridiculed Kamala Harris and Barack Obama based
on their names and refused to pronounce them correctly and
said they needed to go home, that would be considered
any Republican not vivague. But that would be considered a
racist and nativist attack, and it would be everywhere on MSNBC,
and it would be everywhere on CNN. I mean, considered
(08:20):
the way that they covered Trump using the word vermin.
Can you imagine if Trump consistently refused to pronounce Barack
Obama's name correctly or consistently refused to pronounce Kamala Harris's
name correctly. I mean, it would be a regular trope
that they would trot out of evidence of his racism.
There are lots of things to disagree with on the veke.
(08:42):
And by the way, it's also lazy of Donna Brazil
because you're going on a political show to share political
commentary with an audience of millions of people. Being able
to pronounce the person's name that you're going to talk
about is the bare minimum of research, all right. I
mean I used to when I did sports. It would
(09:05):
always stun me the number of times that people couldn't
pronounce an athlete's name correctly. And you know, it's not
the end of the world to mispronounce the name for
somebody who's new that you don't know, but basic research
would demand that you be able to pronounce someone's name correctly.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
I'll just you know, to put a sort of a
finishing touch on this. Donna Brazil said what she said
and knew when she said it, and will continue to
know this going forward, that she's she has the ability
to say this like She's not going to get in trouble.
Democrats aren't going to come after her. She can make
(09:44):
fun of a Vike's name and no one cares. So
you know, this is the world we live in today
in America. By the way, it is amazing. Speaking of pronunciation,
I expect to be deluged with pronunciation emails over this one.
Gloria emailed you Buck near the end of today's broadcast.
Buck used the word mischievous and pronounced it just like
(10:07):
I did, which makes some of us cringe. The correct
pronunciation is mischievous. I I don't know that there is
any audience in America that cares about your pronunciation.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
This is just this. Ali just sent us this email.
This is from Gloria says uh that. I just because
we're talking about Vivacan pronunciation, you evidently have have have
come into Gloria's poor graces here, Buck, over your pronunciation.
I would say mischievous too. Is there not multiple pronunciations
(10:45):
allowed there? Is it mischievous? I mean, we're gonna have
to do research on this to find out. I don't
even know if I care enough to google it. Right now,
That's how I feel about it. I'll just throw that
out there.
Speaker 2 (10:55):
I don't even know if you can get my fingers
to type out the type out the letters so we
can figure. I think miss Javis is the is the
preferred pronunciation, so I could I could.
Speaker 1 (11:03):
Leave it to that one. I will mention too. I
got a great email from someone who said, you guys
have way too many guest hosts. I got that email
this morning and I was like, I don't think we've
had a guest host in a year. Yeah, well, the
we have a guest host and like Christmas and that's it.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
Well we got tutor on Friday, Friday, sorry and Christmas.
Speaker 1 (11:27):
You know that. Yeah, they're right. But I emailed her
back and I was like, you know, there's lots of
things I actually occasionally email back, lots of things you
could criticize. I was like, I don't think we've had
a guest host on this show. You or I have
been in every day for a year basically since uh,
basically since New Year's of last year, because Michael Barry
(11:47):
was in was in on July fourth for us from
uh great host out of Houston. Okay, miss Day it's
been a while, Yeah, so I don't I don't think
that's the criticism. We can have pronunciation maybe, but we
come back. We'll take some of your calls, will allow
you to react, let us know what we're mispronouncing. But
you're right, Donna, Brazil will have no content, neces. No
one will even talk about it. I want to. I
(12:08):
know one took the No one seems to really take debit.
Speaker 2 (12:10):
On my my arena music shows are almost always overrated
because they're like sitting up in the stands, and.
Speaker 1 (12:15):
I like them. By the way, I completely disagree with
that take. Yeah, no, go ahead, it's all right, Clay,
You're you're You're free to be wrong on this take.
That's fine. I like big concerts in arenas and stadiums
because of the sheer magnitude of the spectacle. Now, if
you're talking about would you rather be in a venue
with like three hundred people in it, yes, But if
(12:38):
you're talking about when you buy a ticket for a
twenty thousand seed arena or for a stadium, certainly, to me,
the production value of the performance is pretty cool.
Speaker 2 (12:48):
Right, So the stage not seeing hout eye on this one,
But I want to know if we see the II
on the I on the next one, and what our
audience stinks here. I love this piece in the Wall
Street Journal about whether.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Loved ones this holiday.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
Season should pick up, whether people should pick up their
loved ones at the airport?
Speaker 1 (13:11):
Is this what?
Speaker 2 (13:11):
And especially for some of the guys out there, you know,
I know what this is like. You got a fiance,
or you got a you know, a lady friend, or
you know a wife that expects the pickup from the airport. Now, hey,
I'm on your side. Comes down, comes down heavy on
this one. We can dive into this when we come back.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I want everybody to take ubers everywhere. And this has
turned into a major point of contention with my wife,
who is unhappy that I will put are soon to
be sixteen year old in an uber as opposed to
spending two hours to go drive and pick him up. Uh.
But I understand this is a very contentious issue, especially
around the holiday season. And probably some of you are
listening to us right now, nodding along as you drive
(13:53):
to the airport to go wait in the car waiting
area because somebody's flight's getting delayed two hours and for
some reason you're picking them up instead of having them taken.
Uber Legacy Box provides what Better Homes and Gardens magazine
calls the most sentimental gift to make the holiday season special.
Let's face it, men don't always have the best reputation
when it comes to giving gifts that are good at all,
(14:14):
certainly not sentimental gifts. You just heard us talking about uber,
which is probably gonna blow people up in a big way. There,
Why not blow away your family, girlfriend, wife, mom, dad,
whoever it is by transferring your family's old media into
digital files that will be able to be shared for
years and years to come. I'm talking about all those
old VHS tapes you have stored away in the attic,
(14:36):
even the old film reels. Remember that great scene where
Chevy Chase gets caught in the attic for Christmas vacation.
Family goes out to shop, He goes up in the attic,
gets shut in there, starts to freeze, puts on clothes
to stay warm, watches all the old family reels. You
want to preserve those forever. Make sure that you can
get hooked up and right now you get a Black

and truth Clay Travis and Buck Sexton. No one should
(15:40):
pick you up at the airport.
Speaker 2 (15:43):
Narl Rhoads curb space and long waits at the cell
phone lot. We make the people we love endure a
lot when we visit. This is Wall Street Journal piece
by Nikki Waller, and she starts it off with wanna
be a hero this holiday season? Get yourself home from
the airport. I'm just throwing this out there, Clay, because
(16:07):
there are people out there I have encountered this in
the past who think, oh, you have a car and
in your major metropolitan area, you could drive that car
to that airport to pick up your family when they're
visiting over Thanksgiving or Christmas or whatever without stopping to
think first of all, that's going to be a giant
(16:28):
pain in the butt, and second of all, it makes
it worse for everybody else.
Speaker 1 (16:32):
I'm going tonight to pick up my oldest son when
he comes back from He's been in Chicago for the weekend,
and when I pick him up, it's going to be
pure chaos at the airport. I'm going to spend probably
two and a half to three hours to pick him up.
I am and this is not unique. I've been arguing
(16:53):
this for a long time. I think that everyone should
take an uber or a lift when you arrive at
the airport. Take care of it yourself. It's relatively easy
to do. I understand. Back in the day when there
weren't that many taxi cabs in many places.
Speaker 2 (17:09):
And there are good public transit options too from places
like JFK and LaGuardia. Now you can take air tran.
You know, there are other depends on the city where Look.
If it's the South Bend airport, you know, go pick
somebody up. Fine, major metro airports. Making your loved one
go out to JFK Thanksgiving Wednesday night, the night before
Thanksgiving is torture. Okay, it's torture. You should get to
(17:32):
their house on your own. Now there are certain exceptions
young children, babies, elderly people, but ninety five percent of
everybody who's traveling should be able to get their own
uber And this is gonna be This might be the
most controversial take that we've ever had on this show,
because I guarantee you there are people that are super
fired up about this.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
The chaos at the airport. You can't I'm already terrified
about going tonight because i know I'm not even gonna
be a I'm gonna have to pick up my kid
at the departures area because you can't even get into
the arrivals area. It's trying to help.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
Welcome back in Clay Travis Buck Sexton show Buck throwing
bombs coming after a Renam Music music performances, saying he
doesn't want anybody to get picked up at the airport
to sleep there and if you can't can't get a ride,
it's on you. I am so in favor of no
one getting picked up at the airport. I also am
(19:28):
not a big fan of dropping off at the airport.
I think in an Uber era, Uber and Lyft have
changed transportation fundamentally, and I think a lot of people
haven't caught up with it because the idea of driving
somebody to the airport or picking someone up at the airport,
I'm talking about an adult, like a functional adult. Now,
would you feel different if you were single and you
(19:51):
were dating. Would you make the effort to go pick
up or would you tell girlfriend or dating partner, hey,
figure out a way to get home.
Speaker 2 (20:00):
This was what this is when I had the feud Carrie.
My wife is very reasonable and we understand there's no
point whether you're in Miami or New York, there's no point.
Speaker 1 (20:12):
Oh you're married now. But when you first started dating Carrie,
did you tell her hey, like, I don't do airport trips. Oh, no,
I don't do airport trips. Yeah, you just tell her
that like early on. Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:23):
I think you need to establish that expectation right away
unless for some reason, you know, you're really close and
there are obviously exceptions these rules.
Speaker 1 (20:32):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (20:32):
I remember also in my single life, many many many
years ago, got into a pretty big argument with someone
who was flying into JFK, and I was just like,
it's a Friday, I'm not driving into I'm not driving
out to JFK and then driving back, I'll hit traffic
both ways. I'll be in the car for four hours
take a cab that did not go over well.
Speaker 1 (20:50):
So she was coming specifically to visit you, No, just
coming back to New York. Oh you are already dating. Yeah,
And she for you to go to the airport to
pick her up and you were like, yeah, that's no,
not happening. Yep. And how much longer did the relationship
ask after last? After that fight?
Speaker 2 (21:09):
Like months? I don't know, not very long did. I'm
not gonna say this was like the end, but it didn't.
It didn't really go too much longer. I'd say this
as well. Since we're on Since we're on the subject,
we're talking airports, airplanes. Don't worry everybody, Pete, Buddha, Judges,
FAA has got you covered. It's gonna be great. Give
me no problems. I'm gonna be tweeting up a storm.
I'm sure tomorrow when I'm when I'm caught and all
(21:29):
of a sudden, they'll be saying there are weather delays.
Speaker 1 (21:32):
You'll say, wait, but there's no what's going on?
Speaker 2 (21:34):
They say, Oh, and then we'll find out that there's
like a lack of air traffic controllers or staff or whatever.
It's always a mess. I mean air travel. It's just
it feels like it gets worse every year recently. I
don't know what else to say. It feels like it
just keeps getting worse. And but I'm gonna I'm gonna
put this out there. Does it feel this may be controversial? Okay, fine,
but I haven't yet. I feel like I haven't stepped
(21:54):
into a bear trap yet today on these ones. So
because we have some people calling and to agree with me,
some of the early boarding folks, some of the early
boarding folks I think are taking advantage of the good Moldarius.
Speaker 1 (22:06):
One hundred percent. A lot of early boarding that is inappropriate.
I'm seeing.
Speaker 3 (22:11):
I'm seeing people who are like, oh, I got an
early board. I look at them, like early board. You
look at you, just finished a triathlon. What are you
talking about early board? You know I'm not talking about
Just to be clear, this is not this isn't military
service personnel. This is when they're doing if you need help,
you know. And then you see people.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
With like a walker or a wheelchair, and you know
they're they're elderly people in the wheelchair. They're getting on
the plane. Okay, fine, but I see people who are like, yeah, great,
I'm just gonna go bored.
Speaker 1 (22:37):
I want to be like, excuse me, Like, what is
this south that really matters on Southwest Airlines because there
are no assigned seats. There are sometimes where you're waiting
to get on a Southwest Airlines flight and like seventy
five people are early boarding.
Speaker 2 (22:51):
So you see this too. You don't think I'm crazy?
You think early boarding is being abused?
Speaker 1 (22:54):
No, I mean I get it if you're in a wheelchair, uh,
and you know you have a broken leg, or you're
ninety four years old and you're traveling, Like, yes, I
understand it. But if you've got like four bags and
to your point, you look like you just you know,
like finished a triathlon and you're boarding, and you know,
then you get on and you've managed to you know,
(23:15):
take a whole row on a Southwest flight, I think
it's definitely being abused because I think who says no.
I think if you request early boarding, it doesn't I
don't think they really grill you on why you need
early boarding. I think it's a default. Yes.
Speaker 2 (23:30):
I feel like we're a society where we wish we
could use the honor system on things, but there are
a lot of dishonorable people out there, man, a lot
of people taking a lot of people trying to bring
their emotional support peacock on the plane, you know, people
doing crazy things.
Speaker 1 (23:46):
By the way, the other thing on the pickup, because
I'm still fired of about this. I also like to
look to see whether a flight is on time or not,
because go the only thing worse than going to pick
someone up is going to pick someone up driving like
an hour and then the flight's gonna you find out
the flight's gonna be delayed three hours. So then what
(24:07):
do you do. You sit in the cell phone waiting lot,
You go to some crappy restaurant that you otherwise would
not have gone to, somewhere near the airport because typically
the areas around airports are not super nice. So then
you got to drive another twenty five or thirty minutes
to somewhere that go that you would never go. I
don't understand why this is in default, And I was
(24:28):
even saying off air, I don't like, you know, I
had my book tour and they're like, hey, we want
to book travel for you. We'll have somebody waiting for
you with a with a sign, and I don't even
like that because so often the driver goes to the
wrong place and then you're on the phone trying to
find your driver. I just want to take an Uber
(24:50):
every time I arrive at any airport to wherever I
want to go, and I don't really want to even
have to worry about trying to involve anyone else other
than pulling my phone out and.
Speaker 2 (24:59):
Doing don't want to have to look for that sign
that says mister Gali weekets and tell you it's actually
doctor Galakowitz.
Speaker 1 (25:06):
Do you remember what brand did that ad? Bud Light?
Speaker 2 (25:11):
Yes, because but you used to do the best ads
on TV in the Super Bowl year in and year.
Speaker 1 (25:16):
Out, because beer companies used to try to make you
laugh instead of convincing you that dudes with penises were
the woman of the year. I think there's a whole
I think we've played on this show the Real Men
of Genius ads before, which were all so funny, and
then the Core's Light We like cheerleaders and football and
(25:37):
quarterbacks getting sacked like that whole ad. I showed it
to my kids and they were like, Wow, these were fun.
Because we've entered into such a woke we can't offend anybody. Culture.
Oh the cheerleader is pretty and look men like to
drink beer and look at pretty girls. That hasn't changed.
(25:59):
That's never going to change this basic biology. Yet the
beer companies have decided, oh, we shouldn't do that anymore.
I really think every brand in America could just go
back to what worked in the eighties and the nineties,
and it would work way better now because there's a
desperate demand for it. And then when you get attacked
by all these losers online, you actually should ridicule them
(26:22):
because they aren't representative of the larger American population. Just
and the Victoria's secret thing. While I'm on my oh wow,
he's fired up everybody, my soapbox is perfect on this.
It turns out that fat chicks with penises in lingerie
didn't make anybody want to have sex more or buy
(26:43):
more lingerie. You know, like remember when they were like,
We're gonna have a bunch of androgynist fat chicks selling lingerie,
And You're like, I, I don't think there's a lot
of women out there that think, oh, I'm gonna look
like a fat chick when I put on lingerie. And
I don't think there are any men out there that
are like, you know what I want? I want a
person that might be a dude wearing lingerie to convince
(27:06):
me to buy this for my wife. Like, this was
the stupidest campaign in the history of mankind. Everybody wants
to look better looking than they are. Right, there aren't
fat superheroes. I mean fashion. Fashion is aspirational, right, I
mean ye agree that any of us participates. Imagine how
Superman wouldn't be very super if you weighed four hundred
(27:27):
and twenty pounds and he was trying to wear a
lycra suit.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
You couldn't see his abs. Well, men envy he identifies
as super you don't know? That would certainly be a
different kind of movie. But this whole idea let's drive
me crazy. If you're looking for a way to save

Back everybody to Clay in Buckbone lines are open eight
hundred two eighty two to eight eight two. We have
Aaron who sounds like a brilliant audio file.
Speaker 1 (29:18):
Aaron, what's going.
Speaker 5 (29:19):
On, Hey guys, thanks for having me. You know I
live in San Diego. I got tickets to Metallica. I'm
a dieheart. Stand up at Joe Count La throve to
the horrendous LA traffic, got to the stadium, got my
fifteen dollars beer, and I couldn't hear a freaking note
they were playing. You know, it's just loud gargles sounds.
I couldn't even make out those the music. I hate stadiums.
(29:39):
I agree with Bucks.
Speaker 2 (29:41):
You're a brilliant man, Aaron, because see you've experienced the reality.
That's what I always telling people. Stadiums are not built
for outdoor state. It's not built for acoustics. No, there's
no way you're gonna be able to really if you're
somebody that wants to hear the crispness of those notes,
you want to hear those vocals.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
Clay's Clay just He's just there's not pagan read. I
just want the big show, the big screen. I would
still like to go see the Taylor Swift extravaganza, like
back in the day, you two rolling Stones. The big
stadium shows I think are really cool, just to see
the way they put them on, so I don't go
(30:18):
the things just sound. Do you want to go to
this thing in Vegas, the Sphere? I do one hundred.
I want to go to the Sphere. For those of
you who don't know, the owner of the Knicks, James
Dolan and Madison Square Garden, built this incredible concert. I
mean really, it's just a venue that is called the
(30:40):
Sphere right off of the Vegas Strip. And I believe
they had you two open up for like nineteen straight
days or something like that, and they want to do
a UFC event. I saw Dana White talking about this. Obviously,
the UFC has major connections in Las Vegas. It looks incredible. Yes,
I want to go see an event there. I'm figuring the'
prob have something huge for the super Bowl this year
(31:02):
because the Super bowls in Vegas, so I'm hoping I'm
out for some of the festivities surrounding that. When is
the Super Bowl? Do you know what month the Super
Bowl is in? It's January or February. Okay, that's pretty Yeah,
it's in February. I believe that. I haven't even looked
up the official date, but usually February eleventh. Our staff
(31:23):
tells us this year. My argument has been for some
time that they should move the Super Bowl to the
Sunday before President's Day and give us basically a football
holiday weekend every year. To me, feels like a no brainer.
That would be an easy calendar change to add one
(31:43):
week to football season, which I don't think most people
would complain about, and then boom, everybody gets off Monday
and it revitalizes President's Day, which I feel like other
than Mattress Cells, most people really kind of don't think
very much about President's Day.
Speaker 2 (31:59):
Are my beloved Jets or my beloved Giants in the
running for this Super Bowl?
Speaker 1 (32:04):
It is an awful year for New York football fans. No,
they are not in the running as a shame. Maybe
they're both actually atrocious. Should I be a Dolphins fan
then Dolphins are, Yeah, you should. It's actually you're kind
of coming in in a very favorable time because the
Dolphins have been trying to replace Dan Marino for twenty
(32:25):
five years now, whatever the math is on that maybe
thirty years now, and Tua is really very good, They're
gonna win the division I think, Sorry, Bill's fans, and
the host home playoff game, so that that's not been
very common. You could be kind of fair weather fand
fanning yourself into a really good spot. So yes, I
would be a Dolphins fan if I were you.
Speaker 2 (32:47):
Everything I know from about Dolphins football I learned from
watching ace Ventura, So.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
You know, Oh, that's a great They couldn't couldn't make
that movie. Now, there's a lot of things in ace
Ventura that would be very una. Marino makes in it
makes a appearance in that. Yeah, Don Shula the quarterback, Yeah,
Don Shula. I mean that's NFL license. They were fine
with that movie being made. They would run in the
opposite direction. Now, by the way, the movie's funny. I
showed it for my kids a couple of Thanksgiving ago,
(33:12):
holds up for them. They thought it was pretty funny.
What are you thinking of the movie that? What is
the movie from our youth?
Speaker 4 (33:19):
Now?
Speaker 2 (33:19):
I'm giving up the joke here because Clay and I
are basically the same age. Don't tell anyone what is
the movie from our youth that your kids love the most?
Speaker 1 (33:27):
Well changes based on how they age, because.
Speaker 2 (33:31):
But like right now, like like right now, like in
the last year or two, what's the one that they
have liked them, Is there one that really sticks out me?
Speaker 1 (33:38):
Well, the last the most two most recent we watched.
They loved both of them, The Lost Boys and Scream,
and they really want to watch the entire Scream. That
was around Halloween. We were watching all those movies, and
before that it was I would probably say Indiana Jones.
But they also love Star Wars, like the original Star Wars,
but the Indiana Jones movies they thought we were pretty phenomenal.
(34:01):
Dan in Minnesota, what's going on? Dan?
Speaker 6 (34:06):
Hello? With the votes coming in as early as they
do now, no matter how energize the Republican base or
the how good the polls look, I'm ready to be
disappointed because as the election nears, the Democrats ground game
will will disappoint us election after election. And I think
(34:30):
we have every right to know as long as we're
going to be voting this early, what the what the
score is as the votes come in, that way, we
won't be surprised and we won't have such a traffic jam.
Speaker 1 (34:45):
Thank you for the call. The amount of thank you,
the amount of defeatism is I mean, I'm trying to
think of the fan base that the Republican Party would
represent right now, the Republican Party is is like the
New York There is almost no faith that anything could
ever go possibly right. I would have said historically, buck
(35:08):
the Detroit Lions. Although here's a good sports analogy for
you to drop out at Thanksgiving, because the Lions will
be playing on Thanksgiving and everybody out there who's listening
right now, if you are not a sports fan at all,
but you want to blow your family away on Thanksgiving
by just dropping an incredible sports stat, here's one for you. Buck.
The Detroit Lions are eight and two. Detroit Lions play
(35:29):
every Thanksgiving. They are eight and two. They usually play
the early game. So you got all your family and
friends around, you can say Detroit Lions are eight and two.
They haven't been eight and two, buck since nineteen sixty two.
JFK was alive the last time the Detroit Lions started
off a season eight and two. There you go. You
(35:51):
save that one. Your your family's not listening, your brothers
are are football fans. Yes, you're gonna drop it. They're
gonna be blown away now. I don't think you can
release he saw the numbers while the voting is still
going on. But I do think this every single state
should one hundred percent copy everything that Florida does from
a voting perspective, because Florida was the laughing stock of
(36:12):
America in two thousand. It took forever, the hanging chad,
the vote and everything else. They fixed it. No big
state buck does voting better than Florida. Now by ten
thirty or eleven o'clock, you know exactly what the tallies
are going to be. You know who won every race.
Every state should be exactly the same as Florida.
Speaker 2 (36:33):
I think some states that are run by Democrats at
the legislative level and have a Democrat governor, they want
to keep it exactly how it is. They want to
keep it a little opaque, a little murky, a little
you know, who knows what's.
Speaker 1 (36:44):
Really going on. Did it take like a month for
all those votes to come in in California? Remember how
long it took to figure out who actually won the House. Yeah,
New York had along a long lag as well. So
we'll come back into this because there's more people who
are weighing in on It's Biden's birthday, So happy birthday, Joe,
stop running for president. That's what they're saying. These are Democrats.
(37:05):
We'll dive into some of that together. Plus some Thanksgiving
thoughts Early Thanksgiving thoughts, because I won't be with you
guys Tomorrow, Wednesday, it'll just be Clay
